A set of directives for culture in the province penned over ten years ago is still in the process of being rewritten.
Last
year, the government announced they were consulting with residents and
cultural stakeholders to update the current cultural policy.
The
Minister of Tourism, Heritage and Culture Trevor Holder tells CHSJ News
they had an election promise to renew the document, and in the meantime,
there have been a host of public engagement opportunities around the
province over the last year. That public consultation component of the
cultural policy renewal has already wrapped up.
The last cultural policy was adopted back in 2002 under Premier Bernard Lord.
